Because this is my 10in female. Yours flares to the outside and my females goes straight down.


Now I'm second guessing myself but hopefully someone else will have another opinion soon

Woah! I've never seen a female with such V-shaped anal scutes! Are you 100% sure?

Ive also heard you can tell if their a boy if they put their tail to the side, and if they have long front claws. Cheerio tucks his/her tail to the side.ImageUploadedByTortForum1376430188.410392.jpg ImageUploadedByTortForum1376430205.596010.jpg are his/her nails long or short?

This is what I've heard:

Males:
Long tails
Tails tucked to the side
V-shaped anal scutes
Long bodies
Concave plastron for mating
Smaller

Females:
Short tails
U-shaped anal scutes
Round bodies
Flat plastron
Bigger
Longer claws for digging nests

Edit: mine is 100% male and has all of these male "signs"

Thanks for the information, what your opinion on my little guy?

I'm going to guess female. Quite a short tail, U-shaped anal scutes, quite a round body, and very long back nails would dig very well. Totally different shape to mine but mine is a leo not a Sulcata. I'll try post a pic so you can compare.
